Get Inspired... Our Styles

Lauzon trend researchers have identified 4 fundamental style
groupings that are used in today’s interiors. Whether
you have an affinity for the minimalist that defines modern
or a penchant for the formality that is conveyed by classic,
there is a Lauzon hardwood floor that will match your style preference.
Here some flooring ideas to get you started.

Modern

Modern tastes enjoy simplicity and clarity. Homes will feature
strong linear elements and incorporate industrial materials such
as steel, concrete and glass. The warmth of real hardwood beautifully
contrasts with the rigidity of these materials and is often used on
the floors, walls and ceilings.

Contemporary

Contemporary interiors are a reflection of the present day.
This style aesthetic permits plenty of degrees of freedom of
creative expression. Unlike the rigidness of the modern style,
a contemporary styled space often features curved forms and soft
edges. This themed décor style is ideal for soothing and
purifying wood tones while remaining casual and functional.

Classic

This formal and refined look has its roots in period influences such
as the Renaissance and Romanesque eras. Traditionally styled spaces
will be adorned with elegant furniture and stately objects such as
glass chandeliers, baroque mirrors and crown moldings. This formally
themed décor may be given a contemporary flair through the use
of bold combinations of unexpected colour or through the use of black
and white schemes.
The ideal hardwood flooring for the neo-classical interior will have a
high lustre, a smooth wood grain such as maple or hickory, deep stains
and very little surface texture (smooth or cashmere feel).

Country

The feeling and spirit of small town familiarity and down home comfort
is what defines the country style. Materials and surfaces with a handmade
look or a hand-me-down appeal are what make a country-styled interior so
charming. Hardwood floors provide rich, timeless character - perfectly
suited for these rurally inspired spaces.
